the top ten movies i will always turn on when i find them on TV

Thursday, September 15, 2011

At any given time while browsing through my DirecTV guide if I see certain movies come across, regardless of at what point in play they are, I will automatically start watching it - even if it's for only ten minutes.

I came to this realization recently while paging through the guide and I came across Home Alone. I didn't care that it's currently not the holiday season, nor that it was already an hour into it - I watched it and it was awesome.

And then, because I have soooooooooooooooo much time on my hands, decided to make a top ten list via the notes app on my iPhone while happily watching Home Alone.

Naturally I'm going to share this list with you, I'm a giver.

Top Ten Movies (in no particular order) that I will always turn on when I randomly come across them on TV.

Honorable mentions: Literally any sports themed movie (hell, I'll watch The Cutting Edge), When Harry Met Sally (WHMS while being one of my favorite movies is an honorable mention only because sometimes is just too emotional, you guys) and Gladiator (probably my favorite movie of all time, but again, sometimes is just too emotional and draining).

Weirdly enough, A League of Their Own was on tv last week and I watched it for the first time in ages. Forgot how good it was. I will always watch Home Alone (or Home Alone 2) when it's on as well . . . even though I own it on dvd anyway.

I can't believe no one mentioned "Jaws"! Always stop and watch it for a bit....along with many of the above mentioned too. But hardly any much "older" movies got a mention like..Gone With the Wind, The Philadelphia Story, Bringing Up Baby...I could go on and on...ha.

The Sandlot for sure!!! I can't believe you and several others had this on your list. It's my favorite movie. I'm a 32 year old chica and when I tell people that's my fave movie they usually give me a look. Glad I'm not alone in my appreciation of it!
